Senior Systems Engineer

Role Overview

Senior Systems Engineers guide engineering teams in applying a multi-discipline systems engineering approach across requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability, and analysis. This work supports the National System of Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG), Allied System of Geospatial-Intelligence (ASG), and Federal Agencies, ensuring the timely and accurate delivery of GEOINT.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor mid-level and junior-level systems engineers performing requirements engineering, solutions engineering, scheduling, reliability, resiliency, services development, integration, test and evaluation, maintainability, and analysis across NSG, ASG, and Federal Agency environments.
  
• Lead planning, analysis, and traceability of user requirements, system architectures, procedures, and problem areas to automate or improve existing systems, including evaluation of cloud service capabilities, workflows, and scheduling limitations.
  
• Guide mid-level and junior engineers in developing solution designs based on requirements analysis and emerging technologies.
  
• Assist the Government in capturing and translating mission and customer requirements into system and capability requirements and solutions.
  
• Support the analysis and allocation of requirements to system architecture components and execution programs.
  
• Perform systems integration activities.
  
• Conduct Analyses of Alternatives (AoAs), Courses of Action (CoAs), trade studies, and engineering assessments.
  
• Support Government efforts in strategic technical planning, project management, performance engineering, risk management, and interface design.
  
• Operate at an enterprise level integrating multiple systems, services, processes, and interfaces within Major Systems Acquisitions across organizational and agency boundaries.
